Peningkatan pada seluler - beri tahu kami pendapat Anda!

Hai, nama saya Sam dan saya Manajer Produk di Yayasan Wikimedia. Tim saya sedang bekerja untuk meningkatkan situs web seluler Wikipedia, dan sebagai seorang editor yang telah melakukan banyak pengeditan di web seluler, kami sangat menghargai masukan Anda.

Kami sedang mengeksplorasi desain baru untuk halaman Diff, yang dapat Anda baca di halaman proyek tim kami. Kami memiliki beberapa pertanyaan terkait dengan pendapat Anda tentang perbedaan di seluler saat ini dan apa yang bisa kami lakukan untuk membuatnya lebih baik lagi. Silakan pergi ke sana dan sampaikan pendapat Anda!

Kami juga ingin memberitahukan bahwa kami sedang memulai sebuah buletin. Silakan mendaftar ke buletin kami jika Anda ingin tetap mengetahui perubahan yang kami buat pada pengalaman web seluler.

Karena kami tidak memiliki pembicara bahasa Indonesia yang fasih di tim kami, kami mungkin tidak dapat menanggapi umpan balik Anda dengan cepat, tetapi kami akan membaca dan menerjemahkan semua yang Anda posting ke halaman proyek kami. Terima kasih atas waktu Anda! Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 12:01, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #557

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Events
  • A citation hunt program was organized for secondary school students at IIS School in Dubai as part of the 74th Republic Day celebration of India. 16 students participated, with different mother tongues and from different states of India living as expatriates in Dubai. The goal was to increase references for Wikidata statements based on research. The students were introduced to the importance of protecting India's history on the internet, and were taught how to edit Wikipedia and Wikidata. They were given a special event page on Wikidata with instructions and a list of Wikidata items to add citations to, and they searched for references in their textbooks and search engines to add to the Wikidata items.More details are given here.
  • Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour January 30, 2023: The #1Lib1Ref campaign is afoot, so we will be working on adding references to Wikidata statements.

We'll be mainly working with adding webpages as sources, but if you want to get experience using books or articles as sources, we recommend bringing some to the session to use as references for Wikidata items you have identified.

Growth team newsletter #24

Welcome to the twenty-fourth newsletter from the Growth team!

Newcomer experience projects

The Growth team partnered with other WMF teams to conduct several experiments around increasing account creation and new editor retention. Results from four of these experiments are now available:

• Thank you pages & banners - Encourage donors to create accounts through thank you pages and banners.
• Marketing experiment - Run ads on-wiki and off-wiki to see how this impacts account activation.
• "Add an image" GLAM events - Host GLAM events that focus on using the "Add an image" tool.
• Welcome emails - Experiment sending welcome emails to newly created accounts.

Newcomer tasks

• Several communities suggested improving "add a link", by suggesting underlinked articles first. We released this change to Growth pilot wikis. We will review the data and collect feedback before considering releasing it to more wikis. [25]
• The deployment of the "add a link" to all Wikipedias is still in progress. Suggested links use a prediction model, which has to be trained. The deployments will resume after we finish training all models. [26]

Mentorship

• When someone wants to signup as a mentor, they are now informed if they don't meet the defined criteria. [27]
• Workshop hosts asked us to have workshop attendees assigned to them. They can soon use a custom URL parameter. This way, workshop hosts will continue mentoring the event's attendees after the workshop. It will be available in February. [28]
• Have you considered to help new editors on your wiki, by signing up to be a Mentor?
  • Please visit Special:MentorDashboard to check on the conditions to be a mentor, and sign up.
  • If your wiki does not have Mentorship enabled, consider setting it up. The Growth team can provide advice and assist as needed. Please ping Trizek (WMF) for assistance.

Other news

• In Special:SpecialPages, Growth experiments now have their own section. [29]
• This newsletter will have a new publication period, 6 times a year: January, March, May, July, September, November.

Translations

• Newsletter translation: We are looking for translators for this newsletter. If you are interested and have the needed English language proficiency to assist, then please add your name to this list. You will receive an invite on your talk page to translate the newsletter when it is ready.
• Interface translation: You can also help by translating the interface, or reviewing translations to make them more inclusive. Interface translations are hosted at translatewiki.net.

Tech News: 2023-06

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• In the Vector 2022 skin, logged-out users using the full-width toggle will be able to see the setting of their choice even after refreshing pages or opening new ones. This only applies to wikis where Vector 2022 is the default. [30]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 February. It will be on all wikis from 9 February (calendar).
• Previously, we announced when some wikis would be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. These switches will not be announced any more, as the read-only time has become non-significant. Switches will continue to happen at 7AM UTC on Tuesdays and Thursdays. [31]
• Across all the wikis, in the Vector 2022 skin, logged-in users will see the page-related links such as "What links here" in a new side menu. It will be displayed on the other side of the screen. This change had previously been made on Czech, English, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. [32]
• Community Wishlist Survey 2023 will stop receiving new proposals on Monday, 6 February 2023, at 18:00 UTC. Proposers should complete any edits by then, to give time for translations and review. Voting will begin on Friday, 10 February.

Future changes

• Gadgets and user scripts will be changing to load on desktop and mobile sites. Previously they would only load on the desktop site. It is recommended that wiki administrators audit the gadget definitions prior to this change, and add skins=… for any gadgets which should not load on mobile. More details are available.

Wikidata weekly summary #564

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Events
  • Upcoming: WikiCite Monthly Meeting, online on 28 March 2023 at 16:00 UTC. Information and notes

• Press, articles, blog posts, videos
  • Blogs
    • In this week's update by the Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions team, they are asking where the right place to store and maintain Abstract Wikipedia should be. All of the options involve Wikidata to some extent, some more, some less. If the content of Abstract Wikipedia is hosted on Wikidata, that would lead to an increased scope for the Wikidata community (and likely more contributors joining). But that is a decision the Wikidata community needs to be involved in as well. (Also, if you are interested, the Abstract Wikipedia updates might be worth to follow.)
  • Papers
    • Investigating the potential of the semantic web for education: Exploring Wikidata as a learning platform
  • Videos
  • Notebooks
    • Country diversity of external links domain names in Wikipedia in French an analysis of all domain names in Wikipedia in French by country associated to the website.

Growth team newsletter #25

Welcome to the twenty-fifth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Celebrations

Leveling up release

• We released Leveling up features to our pilot wikis on March 22 for an initial A/B test.
• In this test, we use post-edit dialogs (pop-ups shown after publishing an edit) and notifications to encourage new editors to try new types of newcomer-friendly suggested edits.
• We are closely monitoring the short term impact of this feature as well as the longer term effect on newcomer productivity and retention. If the experiment shows positive results, we will release this feature to more wikis.

5,000+ images added via the newcomer task in February

• In February 2023, 5,035 images were added via the newcomer “add an image” feature (on all wikis where available); 155 were reverted.
• Since the feature “add an image” was launched: 36,803 images have been added; 2,957 images were reverted.

Recent changes

• Add a link
  • Community Ambassadors completed an initial evaluation that confirmed that prioritizing underlinked articles resulted in better article suggestions. We then evaluated the change on Growth pilot wikis, and results suggest that more newcomers are successfully completing the task and experiencing fewer reverts. We have now deployed the new prioritization model to all wikis with "add a link" enabled. [64][65]
  • We continue the deployment of "add a link" to more wikis. These changes are regularly announced in Tech News. To know if newcomers at your wiki have access to this feature, please visit your Homepage.
• The Impact module was deployed on our pilot wikis, where we conducted an A/B test. We published initial findings, and a data scientist is now completing experiment analysis. [66]
• Donor Thank you page experiment – Donors land on a “thank you” page after donation, and that landing page now includes a call to action to try editing: Example Thank you page in French. This promising feature is tested at several Wikipedias (French Wikipedia, Italian Wikipedia, Japanese Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Swedish Wikipedia).
• Growth features are now the default experience on both test.wiki-indonesia.club and test2.wiki-indonesia.club. You can test our features there.

Upcoming work

• Add an image – We plan to offer section-level image suggestions as a structured task for newcomers.
  • We are starting design work. [67]
  • Growth team Ambassadors helped with an initial evaluation of these section-level image suggestions. [68]
  • We will start a community consultation in which we share initial ideas and designs soon. [69]
• IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation – We will support this project for all Growth Team maintained products and extensions that may be affected by IP Masking. [70]

• Discussions
  • New requests for permissions/Bot:
    • RPI2026F1Bot 7 (Add start time (P580) as qualifiers to subreddit (P3984))
    • BotFunast (Task: The bot is already operational in the Tachelhit Wikipedia. One of its main tasks is editing template tags and categories, and creating new ones when necessary, based on a csv database (that you can find in github) . When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.)

Berita Teknis: 2023-19

Berita teknis terkini dari komunitas teknis Wikimedia. Harap beritahu pengguna lain mengenai perubahan ini. Tidak semua perubahan akan berdampak pada Anda. Terjemahan telah tersedia.

Perubahan terbaru

• Pekan lalu, Community Tech merilis peningkatan pertama untuk menyediakan diff yang lebih baik, yaitu permintaan #1 dalam Survei Harapan Komunitas 2022. Pembaruan ini menambahkan informasi legenda dan keterangan perkakas pada teks diff sebaris sehingga pengguna yang tidak terbiasa dengan warna biru dan kuning dapat lebih memahami jenis suntingan yang dilakukan.
• Ketika Anda menutup gambar yang ditampilkan melalui MediaViewer, tampilan tersebut akan kembali ke halaman wiki alih-alih kembali ke riwayat peramban Anda. Permintaan fitur ini merupakan pilihan #65 dalam Survei Harapan Komunitas 2023. [104]
• Ekstensi SyntaxHighlight sekarang mendukung wikitext sebagai bahasa yang dipilih. Alternatif lama yang digunakan untuk menyorot wikitext, seperti html5, moin, dan html+handlebars, sekarang dapat diganti. [105]
• Preloading text to new pages/sections sekarang mendukung pemuatan ulang teks dari pesan antarmuka MediaWiki yang diterjemahkan. Berikut ini adalah contoh di Wikipedia bahasa Ceska yang menggunakan preload=MediaWiki:July. [106]

Masalah-masalah

• Kabar terbaru Ekstensi Graph: Para pengembang Wikimedia Foundation telah menyelesaikan peningkatan perangkat lunak visualisasi ke Vega5. Grafik komunitas yang ada saat ini berdasarkan Vega2 tidak lagi kompatibel. Komunitas perlu memperbarui grafik dan templat lokal, dan modul lua yang dibagikan seperti de:Modul:Graph. Pedoman Vega Porting menyediakan perincian yang komprehensif tentang migrasi dari Vega2 dan berikut ini adalah contoh migrasi. Vega5 baru-baru ini diaktifkan di mediawiki.org untuk menyediakan tempat uji coba bagi komunitas. [107]

Perubahan dalam minggu ini

• Versi terbaru MediaWiki akan tersedia di wiki uji coba dan MediaWiki.org pada 9 Mei. Versi ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 10 Mei. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 11 Mei (kalender).
• Hingga sekarang, semua aplikasi OAuth baru harus menjalani peninjauan secara manual. Mulai pekan ini, aplikasi yang menggunakan otorisasi identifikasi tunggal atau otorisasi dasar tidak perlu ditinjau. [108]

Perubahan mendatang

• Selama setahun ke depan, MediaWiki akan meninggalkan penggunaan alamat IP untuk mengenali pengguna yang tidak masuk log dan akan mulai memberikan nama pengguna sementara yang unik secara otomatis. Baca lebih lanjut di Penyuntingan IP: Peningkatan Privasi dan Mitigasi/Pembaruan Penyalahgunaan. Anda dapat bergabung dalam diskusi tentang format nama pengguna sementara. [109]
• Akan ada Uji A/B di 10 Wikipedia tempat kulit Vector 2022 menjadi kulit bawaan. Sebagian pengguna desktop yang masuk log akan melihat antarmuka dengan bagian-bagian halaman yang berbeda yang dipisahkan dengan lebih jelas. Anda dapat membaca lebih lanjut. [110][111]
• jquery.tipsy akan dihapus dari bagian inti MediaWiki. Perubahan ini akan mempengaruhi beberapa skrip pengguna. Sebagian besar baris dengan .tipsy( dapat dijadikan sebagai komentar. OO.ui.PopupWidget dapat digunakan untuk menjaga agar semuanya tetap berfungsi seperti sekarang. Anda dapat membaca lebih lanjut dan mengetahui cara menemukan skrip yang rusak. [112]

Growth team newsletter #26

Welcome to the twenty-sixth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

One million Suggested Edits

We passed the 1 million Suggested edits milestone in late April!

• The Suggested edits feature (AKA Newcomer tasks) increase newcomer activation by ~12%, which flows on through to increased retention. (source)
• Suggested edits increase the number of edits newcomers complete in their first two weeks and have a relatively low revert rate. (source)
• Suggested edits are available on all Wikipedia language editions.
• Newer Suggested edits, like Add a link and Add an image, aren’t yet deployed to all wikis, but these structured tasks further increase the probability that newcomers will make their first edit. (source)

Positive reinforcement

Positive reinforcement aims to encourage newcomers who have visited our homepage and tried Growth features to keep editing.

• The new Impact module was released to Growth pilot wikis in December 2022, and we are now scaling the feature to another ten wikis. [118]
• The Leveling up features are deployed at our pilot wikis.
• The Personalized praise features were deployed at our pilot wikis on May 24. Mentors at pilot wikis will start to receive notifications weekly when they have “praise-worthy” mentees. Mentors can configure their notification preferences or disable these notifications.

Add an image

• We are creating a new section-level variation of the “add an image” task. We have tested the accuracy of suggestions, and the development of this new task is well-underway. [119]

Other updates

• We are progressively releasing Add a link to more wikis. [120]
• After adding Thanks to Recent Changes, Watchlist and Special:Contributions, we investigated Thanks usage on the wikis. There is no evidence that thanks increased after the feature was added on more pages.
• We helped with code review for the 2023 Community Wish to add Notifications for user page edits. [121]
• We have been attending several community events, that we documented in our Growth’s Community events report.

What's next for Growth?

• We shared an overview of Growth annual planning ideas, and have started community discussion about these potential projects. We would love to hear your feedback on these ideas!

Tech News: 2023-22

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Citations can once again be added automatically from ISBNs, thanks to Zotero's ISBN searches. The current data sources are the Library of Congress (United States), the Bibliothèque nationale de France (French National Library), and K10plus ISBN (German repository). Additional data source searches can be proposed to Zotero. The ISBN labels in the VisualEditor Automatic tab will reappear later this week. [122]
• The page Istimewa:Sunting daftar pantauan now has "Centang semua" options to select all the pages within a namespace. This feature request was voted #161 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [123]

Problems

• For a few days earlier this month, the "Add interlanguage link" item in the Tools menu did not work properly. This has now been fixed. [124]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 May. It will be on all wikis from 1 June (calendar).
• VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on small and medium wikis this week. Large wikis will follow in the coming weeks. This is part of the effort to move Parsoid into MediaWiki core. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here.

Berita Teknis: 2023-24

Berita teknis terkini dari komunitas teknis Wikimedia. Harap beritahu pengguna lain mengenai perubahan ini. Tidak semua perubahan akan berdampak pada Anda. Terjemahan telah tersedia.

Perubahan terbaru

• Perkakas atribusi konten Who Wrote That?, XTools Authorship, dan XTools Blame sekarang mendukung Wikipedia bahasa Belanda, Jerman, Hungaria, Indonesia, Jepang, Polandia, dan Portugis. Ini merupakan keinginan #7 dalam Survei Harapan Komunitas 2023. [130]
• Panel Search Preview telah digunakan di empat Wikipedia (bahasa Katalan, Belanda, Hongaria, dan Norwegia). Panel ini akan menampilkan gambar yang berhubungan dengan artikel tersebut (jika ada), bagian utama dari artikel tersebut, gambar-gambar yang berhubungan (berasal dari MediaSearch di Commons), dan terakhir adalah proyek-proyek lain yang berhubungan dengan artikel tersebut. [131]
• Ekstensi RealMe sekarang memungkinkan para pengurus untuk memverifikasi URL pada halaman mana saja, baik untuk Mastodon maupun perangkat lunak serupa. [132]
• The default project license has been officially upgraded to CC BY-SA 4.0. The software interface messages have been updated. Communities should feel free to start updating any mentions of the old CC BY-SA 3.0 licensing within policies and related documentation pages. [133]

Masalah-masalah

• Selama tiga hari bulan lalu, beberapa halaman Wikipedia yang disunting dengan VisualEditor atau DiscussionTools mengalami penambahan __TOC__ yang tidak diinginkan (atau dalam bentuk yang dilokalkan) selama penyuntingan. Ada daftar halaman yang terkena dampak yang diurutkan berdasarkan wiki yang mungkin masih perlu diperbaiki. [134]
• Saat ini, fitur "Urutkan halaman ini secara baku sebagai" di VisualEditor sedang bermasalah. Kata kunci {{DEFAULTSORT:...}} yang ada tidak muncul dengan benar sebagai templat yang hilang di VisualEditor. Para pengembang sedang mencari solusi untuk memperbaikinya. Sementara itu, bagi pengguna yang ingin menyunting tombol pengurutan standar dari sebuah halaman disarankan untuk beralih ke penyuntingan sumber. [135]
• Pekan lalu, pembaruan formulir hapus mungkin telah merusak beberapa gawai atau skrip pengguna. Jika Anda perlu memanipulasi (mengosongkan) kolom alasan, ganti #wpReason dengan #wpReason > input. Lihat contoh perbaikan. [136]

Perubahan dalam minggu ini

• Versi terbaru MediaWiki akan tersedia di wiki uji coba dan MediaWiki.org pada 13 Juni. Versi ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 14 Juni. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 15 Juni (kalender).
• VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on English Wikipedia on Monday, and all other large wikis on Thursday. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here. [137]

Perubahan mendatang

• Dari tanggal 5 Juni hingga 17 Juli, Tim Keamanan Wikimedia Foundation mengadakan konsultasi dengan para kontributor mengenai rancangan kebijakan untuk mengatur penggunaan sumber daya pihak ketiga dalam gawai dan skrip yang dikembangkan oleh sukarelawan. Masukan dan saran sangat diharapkan di Kebijakan sumber daya pihak ketiga di Meta-Wiki.

Berita Teknis: 2023-26

Berita teknis terkini dari komunitas teknis Wikimedia. Harap beritahu pengguna lain mengenai perubahan ini. Tidak semua perubahan akan berdampak pada Anda. Terjemahan telah tersedia.

Perubahan terbaru

• The Action API modules and Special:LinkSearch will now add a trailing / to all prop=extlinks responses for bare domains. This is part of the work to remove duplication in the externallinks database table. [142]

Masalah-masalah

• Minggu lalu, pencarian di Commons dan Wikidata terhenti selama 23 jam. [143][144]

Perubahan dalam minggu ini

• Versi terbaru MediaWiki akan tersedia di wiki uji coba dan MediaWiki.org pada 27 Juni. Versi ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 28 Juni. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 29 Juni (kalender).
• Kulit Minerva kini menerapkan lebih banyak gaya yang telah ditentukan sebelumnya ke kelas CSS .mbox-text. Hal ini memungkinkan dukungan bagi templat mbox yang menggunakan div, alih-alih tabel. Pastikan bahwa gaya baru ini tidak akan memengaruhi templat lain di wiki Anda. [145][146]
• Gadgets will now load on both desktop and mobile by default. Previously, gadgets loaded only on desktop by default. Changing this default using the |targets= parameter is also deprecated and should not be used. You should make gadgets work on mobile or disable them based on the skin (with the |skins= parameter in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition) rather than whether the user uses the mobile or the desktop website. Popular gadgets that create errors on mobile will be disabled by developers on the Minerva skin as a temporary solution. [147]
• Semua tab ruang nama sekarang memiliki kunci akses peramban yang sama secara bawaan. Sebelumnya, ruang nama khusus dan ruang nama yang ditentukan oleh ekstensi harus memiliki kunci akses yang diatur secara manual di wiki, tetapi hal itu tidak lagi diperlukan. [148]
• The review form of the Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standardized user interface components. [149]

Perubahan mendatang

• How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will change in the coming weeks at group2 wikis. This change improves the accessibility of content. You may need to update your site-CSS, or userscripts and gadgets. There are details on what code to check, how to update the code, and where to report any related problems. [150]

Berita Teknis: 2023-28

Berita teknis terkini dari komunitas teknis Wikimedia. Harap beritahu pengguna lain mengenai perubahan ini. Tidak semua perubahan akan berdampak pada Anda. Terjemahan telah tersedia.

Perubahan terbaru

• Fitur Saran Gambar Setingkat Bagian telah diterapkan di tujuh Wikipedia (bahasa Portugis, Rusia, Indonesia, Katalan, Hongaria, Finlandia, dan Bokmål Norwegia). Fitur ini memberikan rekomendasi gambar untuk artikel-artikel di daftar pantauan kontributor yang cocok untuk setiap bagian dari artikel-artikel tersebut.
• Penyaring penyalahgunaan global telah diaktifkan di semua proyek Wikimedia, kecuali Wikipedia bahasa Inggris dan Jepang (yang tidak ikut serta). Perubahan ini diterapkan setelah adanya permintaan komentar dari berbagai pihak. [153]
• Istimewa:BlockedExternalDomains merupakan sebuah alat bantu baru bagi para pengurus untuk membantu memerangi spam. Perkakas ini menyediakan antarmuka yang jauh lebih jelas untuk memblokir domain biasa (dan subdomainnya), mudah dicari, dan lebih cepat diproses oleh perangkat lunak yang memproses setiap suntingan di wiki. Alat ini tidak mendukung regex (untuk kasus-kasus yang rumit), pencocokan jalur URL, atau daftar putih MediaWiki:Spam, tetapi sebaliknya, alat ini menggantikan sebagian besar fungsi dari daftar hitam MediaWiki:Spam yang sudah ada. Tersedia sebuah skrip Python untuk membantu memigrasikan semua domain sederhana ke dalam alat ini, dan penjelasan lebih lanjut mengenai fitur-fiturnya di dalam dokumentasi perkakasnya. Perkakas ini tersedia di semua wiki, kecuali Meta-wiki, Commons, dan Wikidata. [154]
• Ekstensi WikiEditor telah ditingkatkan. Ekstensi ini menyertakan beberapa fitur penyuntingan teks wiki yang paling sering digunakan. Sebelumnya, banyak pesan-pesannya yang hanya dapat diterjemahkan oleh pengurus, tetapi kini semua penerjemah biasa di translatewiki dapat menerjemahkannya. Harap periksa status pelokalan WikiEditor ke dalam bahasa Anda. Jika "Kelengkapan" untuk bahasa Anda menunjukkan kurang dari 100%, silakan lengkapi terjemahannya. Lihat penjelasan yang lebih lengkap.

Perubahan dalam minggu ini

• Versi terbaru MediaWiki akan tersedia di wiki uji coba dan MediaWiki.org pada 11 Juli. Versi ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 12 Juli. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 13 Juli (kalender).
• Protokol standar Istimewa:Pranala luar dan rekanan API telah berubah dari http menjadi http dan https. [155]
• Istimewa:Pranala luar dan rekanan API-nya sekarang akan mencari semua URL yang disertakan dalam kueri. Biasanya hanya 60 karakter pertama. Fitur ini sudah diajukan sejak 15 tahun yang lalu. [156]

Perubahan mendatang

• Terdapat sebuah percobaan dengan menggunakan pengaya ChatGPT. Tujuannya adalah untuk menunjukkan kepada pengguna dari mana informasi tersebut berasal ketika mereka membaca informasi dari Wikipedia. Percobaan ini telah dilakukan oleh staf Wikimedia Foundation dan Wikimediawan lainnya. Dalam waktu dekat, semua pengguna pengaya ChatGPT dapat menggunakan pengaya Wikipedia. Pengaya ini adalah jenis pengaya yang sama dengan yang disebutkan dalam Berita Teknis 2023/20. [157]
• Terdapat diskusi yang sedang berlangsung mengenai usulan kebijakan sumber daya pihak ketiga. Usulan ini akan memengaruhi penggunaan sumber daya pihak ketiga di gawai dan skrip pengguna. Berdasarkan ide-ide yang diterima sejauh ini, kebijakan tersebut mencakup beberapa risiko yang terkait dengan skrip pengguna dan gawai yang memuat sumber daya pihak ketiga, beberapa kiat terbaik, dan persyaratan pengecualian seperti transparansi kode dan inspeksi. Umpan balik dan saran dari Anda akan diterima dengan hangat hingga 17 Juli 2023 di halaman diskusi kebijakan.

Perubahan terbaru

• Pada saat ini, kami menangani 1% dari seluruh lalu lintas pengguna global melalui Kubernetes (Anda dapat membaca informasi teknis lebih lanjut). Rencananya, kami akan menaikkan persentase ini secara berkala. Anda dapat mengikuti perkembangan proses ini.

Perubahan dalam minggu ini

• Versi terbaru MediaWiki akan tersedia di wiki uji coba dan MediaWiki.org pada 18 Juli. Versi ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 19 Juli. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 20 Juli (kalender).
• Pesan sistem MediaWiki kini akan mencari alternatif bahasa lokal yang tersedia, alih-alih selalu menggunakan alternatif bawaan yang ditentukan oleh perangkat lunak. Cara ini membuat wiki tidak perlu lagi menimpa setiap bahasa pada daftar bahasa pengganti secara terpisah. Sebagai contoh, Wikipedia bahasa Inggris tidak perlu lagi membuat subhalaman en-ca dan en-gb dengan menyertakan halaman-halaman dasar. Hal ini akan mempermudah pemeliharaan penggantian halaman secara lokal. [158]
• API action=growthsetmentorstatus akan ditiadakan pada versi MediaWiki yang baru. Bot atau skrip yang menggunakan API tersebut harus menggunakan API action=growthmanagementorlist mulai sekarang. [159]

Growth team newsletter #27

Welcome to the twenty-seventh newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Annual plan for Growth

We shared our annual plan, for the period July 2023 - June 2024.

Our first project of the year will be Community configuration 2.0, which helps editors with extended rights transparently and easily configure important on-wiki functionality.

After we finish work on Community configuration 2.0, we will hope to fit in one of the following projects:

• Article creation: This project aims to provide new editors with better guidance and guardrails in the article creation process, with the intention of lightening the load of new page reviewers.
• Non-editing participation: This project aims to create low-risk ways for readers to participate in Wikipedia with the intention of funneling more readers into contributing to the Wikimedia movement.

Please let us know what you think about these projects on the related talk page, or Growth's annual plan talk page.

Suggested edits

The new "Add an image" section-level task

We released a new Section-level “add an image” structured task to Growth pilot wikis (Arabic, Bengali, Czech, and Spanish). This task was part of the Structured Data Across Wikipedia project. We are monitoring the edits made, and we look for community feedback as well.

Suggested Edits are now receiving topic predictions via the new Language-Agnostic Topic Classification. This change affects non-English Wikipedia wikis. It will ensure newcomers receive a greater diversity of task recommendations. Before, as this feature was a test, English Wikipedia was used to select topics. The change is gradual as lists of topics are refreshed when they become empty. The Research team will evaluate the impact in a few months. [165]

Starting on August 1, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link": Georgian Wikipedia, Kara-Kalpak Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Kabardian Wikipedia, Kabiyè Wikipedia, Kikuyu Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Khmer Wikipedia, Kannada Wikipedia, Kashmiri Wikipedia, Colognian Wikipedia, Kurdish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia.

Mentorship

The Growth team provides dedicated features to establish a mentorship program for newcomers. Every newcomer gets a volunteer mentor who provides encouragement and answers questions. Communities can set up or join this mentorship system by visiting Special:ManageMentors. This mentorship system is configurable by the community at Special:EditGrowthConfig.

More communities have implemented mentorship. A Wikimedia Foundation data scientist will be looking at the impact of Mentorship. We will look at the impact on Spanish and English Wikipedia. [166]

The Growth team will also host a Mentoring new editors on Wikipedia session at Wikimania 2023 in Singapore. Workshop attendees will help brainstorm improvements to Growth’s mentorship features.

Positive reinforcement

We will share more complete experiment analysis for all the three parts of the Positive reinforcement project soon. At the moment, the new Impact module, Leveling up, and Personalized praise are still being A/B tested on the Growth team's pilot wikis.

In the meantime, initial leading indicators for the Personalized praise project have been published. Although this is still a relatively small sample, results seem healthy. They show that Mentors are indeed receiving notifications and clicking through to view their praise-worthy mentees.

Growth contributes to IP Editing migration

The Growth team is currently focusing on IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation. It is a project that touches many different Wikimedia Foundation teams. The Growth team will focus on temporary accounts through two main points:

• the user experience of a logged-out user, that switches to a temporary account,
• change Growth-owned extensions and features, so that they work as expected with temporary accounts. [167]

Community Configuration 2.0

We are still in the early planning stage of the Community Configuration 2.0 project:

• We are gathering internal Wikimedia Foundation teams' needs, so as community feedback. [168]
• We have started to investigate design improvements. [169]
• We are also reviewing similar tools that are part of other products. [170]

Tech News: 2023-33

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The Content translation system is no longer using Youdao's machine translation service. The service was in place for several years, but due to no usage, and availability of alternatives, it was deprecated to reduce maintenance overheads. Other services which cover the same languages are still available. [172]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 August. It will be on all wikis from 17 August (calendar).
• Starting on Wednesday, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link" (Latin Wikipedia, Ladino Wikipedia, Luxembourgish Wikipedia, Lak Wikipedia, Lezghian Wikipedia, Lingua Franca Nova Wikipedia, Ganda Wikipedia, Limburgish Wikipedia, Ligurian Wikipedia, Lombard Wikipedia, Lingala Wikipedia, Latgalian Wikipedia, Latvian Wikipedia, Maithili Wikipedia, Basa Banyumasan Wikipedia, Moksha Wikipedia, Malagasy Wikipedia, Armenian Wikipedia, Kyrgyz Wikipedia). This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to more Wikipedias. The communities can configure how this feature works locally. [173]

Future changes

• A few gadgets/user scripts which add icons to the Minerva skin need to have their CSS updated. There are more details available including a search for all existing instances and how to update them.

Berita Teknis: 2023-35

Berita teknis terkini dari komunitas teknis Wikimedia. Harap beritahu pengguna lain mengenai perubahan ini. Tidak semua perubahan akan berdampak pada Anda. Terjemahan telah tersedia.

Perubahan terbaru

• Sekarang ini sedang dilakukan peningkatan deteksi pemisahan yang bertujuan untuk perbaikan penanganan diff paragraf yang lebih baik. Selama dua pekan terakhir, kami menyempurnakan ini dalam wiki group0 dan group1. Pada pekan ini, dukungan ini akan diterapkan ke wiki group2. [184]
• Semua halaman Istimewa:Kontribusi pengguna kini menampilkan jumlah suntingan lokal pengguna dan tanggal pembuatan akun. [185]
• Pengguna Wikisource kini dapat menggunakan label prpbengalicurrency untuk menampilkan karakter mata uang Bengali sebagai nomor halaman di dalam tag <pagelist>. [186]
• Dua preferensi telah dipindahkan. Opsi "Enable the visual editor" sekarang ditampilkan di tab "Penyuntingan" di setiap wiki. Sebelumnya, preferensi ini ditampilkan pada tab "Fitur beta" di sebagian wiki. Preferensi "Gunakan mode teks wiki di dalam penyunting visual daripada penyunting teks wiki yang berbeda." sekarang juga ditampilkan di tab "Penyuntingan" di seluruh wiki, bukan di tab "Fitur beta". [187][188]

Perubahan dalam minggu ini

• Versi terbaru MediaWiki akan tersedia di wiki uji coba dan MediaWiki.org pada 29 Agustus. Versi ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 30 Agustus. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 31 Agustus (kalender).
• Mendaftar akun baru sebagai pengembang Wikimedia akan mulai diarahkan ke idm.wikimedia.org, alih-alih melalui Wikitech. Informasi lebih lanjut tentang perubahan sistem ini telah tersedia.
• Setiap wiki yang menggunakan bahasa dari kanan ke kiri, termasuk Wikipedia bahasa Korea, Armenia, Ukraina, Rusia, dan Bulgaria, akan mendapatkan sebuah pranala di bilah sisi yang menampilkan fitur URL pendek dari halaman tersebut dengan memanfaatkan layanan Pemendek URL Wikimedia. Fitur ini akan hadir di lebih banyak wiki dalam beberapa pekan ke depan. [189]

Perubahan mendatang

• Penghapusan ekstensi DoubleWiki sedang diperbincangkan. Ekstensi ini memungkinkan pengguna Wikisource untuk melihat artikel dari beberapa versi bahasa secara berdampingan ketika simbol panah $2 di sebelah edisi bahasa tertentu dipilih. Tanggapan mengenai hal ini disambut baik di halaman tugas Phabricator.
• Usulan untuk menggabungkan daftar kategori tersembunyi kedua (yang muncul di bawah formulir penyuntingan teks wiki) dengan daftar kategori utama (yang ada di bagian bawah halaman) telah dibuat. Informasi lebih lanjut tersedia di Phabricator. Umpan balik sangat dibutuhkan.

Berita Teknis: 2023-37

Berita teknis terkini dari komunitas teknis Wikimedia. Harap beritahu pengguna lain mengenai perubahan ini. Tidak semua perubahan akan berdampak pada Anda. Terjemahan telah tersedia.

Perubahan terbaru

• ORES, layanan evaluasi revisi, kini menggunakan infrastruktur sumber terbuka baru dalam semua wiki kecuali Wikipedia bahasa Inggris dan Wikidata. Keduanya akan menyusul minggu ini. Jika Anda melihat hasil yang berbeda dari penyaring Perubahan Terbaru yang berhubungan dengan ORES (misalnya, "Prediksi kualitas kontribusi" dan "Prediksi niat pengguna"), mohon laporkan. [197]
• Apabila Anda masuk log ke sebuah wiki Wikimedia dan mengunjungi wiki Wikimedia yang lain, sistem akan mencoba melakukan masuk log Anda ke sana secara otomatis. Hal ini belum dapat diandalkan untuk waktu yang lama. Sekarang, Anda dapat mengunjungi halaman masuk log untuk membuat sistem berusaha ekstra keras. Jika Anda merasa bahwa cara masuk log yang sekarang lebih baik atau lebih buruk dari sebelumnya, kirimkan pendapat Anda. [198]

Perubahan dalam minggu ini

• Versi terbaru MediaWiki akan tersedia di wiki uji coba dan MediaWiki.org pada 12 September. Versi ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 13 September. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 14 September (kalender).
• Tim Retrospektif Forum Pengambilan Keputusan Teknis mengundang setiap orang yang terlibat dalam bidang teknis proyek-proyek Wikimedia untuk mengikuti salah satu sesi dengar pendapat pada tanggal 13 September. Tanggal berikutnya akan diumumkan kemudian. Tujuannya adalah untuk menyempurnakan proses pengambilan keputusan teknis.
• Sebagai bagian dari usulan daftar harapan mengenai peningkatan penanganan perbedaan paragraf yang lebih baik, sebuah widget pengalih sebaris (inline switch) di halaman diff diluncurkan minggu ini ke semua wiki. Pengalih sebaris akan memungkinkan pengguna untuk beralih antara format teks wiki sebaris atau dua kolom. [199]

Perubahan mendatang

• Semua wiki akan berstatus hanya-baca selama beberapa menit pada tanggal 20 September. Hal ini dijadwalkan pada pukul 14.00 UTC. Informasi lebih lanjut akan dipublikasikan di Berita Teknis dan juga akan ditampilkan di setiap wiki dalam beberapa pekan mendatang. [200]
• API Enterprise meluncurkan fitur baru yang disebut "berita sela". Fitur yang masih dalam versi BETA ini mencoba mengenali topik-topik yang "layak diberitakan" yang sedang ditulis di Wikipedia mana pun. Anda diminta bantuannya untuk menyempurnakan keakuratan model pendeteksiannya, terutama pada edisi bahasa yang lebih kecil, dengan merekomendasikan templat atau pola penyuntingan yang dapat dikenali. Lihat informasi lebih lanjut di halaman dokumentasi di MediaWiki atau Pertanyaan Umum di Meta.

Growth team newsletter #28

Welcome to the twenty-eighth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Community Configuration, concept A: Accordion style

Community Configuration, concept B: Dashboard style

Community configuration 2.0

• Community Configuration 2.0 is a feature that will enable Wikimedia communities to easily customize and configure features to meet their unique needs. This approach provides non-technical moderators with more independence and control over enabling/disabling and customizing features for their communities.
• Technical approach and associated tasks are detailed in this Epic task on Phabricator.
• Initial designs are drafted for two different approaches (see images). We will soon demo interactive prototypes to interested admins, stewards, and experienced editors (T346109). Please let us know if you have feedback on the design approach, or want to participate in prototype testing.

IP Masking

• The Growth team has been working on several updates to ensure Growth maintained features will be compatible with future IP Masking changes. This work has included code changes to: Recent Changes (T343322), Echo notifications (T333531), the Thanks extension (T345679) and Mentorship (T341390).
• Before December, the Growth team will initiate community discussions with the goal of migrating communities from Flow to DiscussionTools. This move aims to minimize the necessity for additional engineering work to make Flow compatible with IP Masking. (T346108)

Mentorship

• We assembled some resources for mentors at Mediawiki wiki. This resource page is translatable and will be linked from the mentor dashboard.
• We are working to resolve a bug related to mentors properly returning after being marked as "Away". (T347024)
• Half of newcomers at English Wikipedia get a mentor assigned to them. To ensure every newcomer receives mentorship, we need additional volunteer mentors at English Wikipedia to achieve a 100% coverage rate. We also encourage experienced users from other wikis to help newcomers at their own community.

Scaling Growth features

• We continue the deployment of the structured task "add a link" to all Wikipedias. We plan to scale the task to all Wikipedias that have link suggestions available by the end of 2023.
• We plan to scale the new Impact Module to all Wikipedias soon, but first we are investigating a bug with the job that refreshes the Impact Module data. (T344428)
• At some wikis, newcomers have access to the "add an image" structured task. This task suggests images that may be relevant to add to unillustrated articles. Newcomers at these wikis can now add images to unillustrated articles sections. (T345940) The wikis that have this task are listed under "Images recommendations" at the Growth team deployment table.

Other news

• We disabled the “add an image” task temporarily (T345188) because there was a failure in the image suggestions pipeline (T345141). This is now fixed.
• You can read a report about the Growth team’s representation at Wikimania in Singapore here. Growth team members presented two sessions at Wikimania Singapore.
• After a 2.5 years-long collaboration with Bangala Wikipedia, we have decided to start a collaboration with another wiki. Swahili Wikipedia is now a pilot wiki for Growth experiments.

Welcome to the 600th Wikidata Weekly Summary!

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Welcome to the 600th Weekly Summary!

Lydia initiated the weekly newsletter at the start of the Wikidata project, before it even went live, to keep the community in the loop about the developments, the new projects and tools. Léa carried on the newsletter in 2016 and then it was my turn in 2020. The newsletter has been going strong for eleven years, with its content powered by the community, and delivered every week without fail. Thank you to everyone who helped fill in the different sections of the Weekly Summary thus far ❤️ --Mohammed

• Item #600 Ichiro Suzuki; Property #600 is Wine AppDB ID; and Lexeme #600 is the Japanese conjugation だから
  • 600 in the multiverse: as a year (another year), a number, a category, a track gauge, a jet, an asteroid, an auto race, a genetic element, a death, a birth, a TV serie, a car, a galaxy, a sport discipline, a radio telescope, an engine, a polygon, a film, a GPU, a photolithography, and many more…
• Timeline of places when they had a population of exactly 600
• Map of things at an altitude of 600 m
• List of items with an external ID equal to 600
  • Wikidata was 600 days old on Wednesday 11 June 2014. It will be 600 weeks old on Monday 9 August 2027
• WikidataCon happened over the weekend
  • Birthday wishes from the community, and a special note from the Wikidata development team at Wikimedia Deutschland below:

Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming.

Wikidata’s world - map of Wikidata Items with a geocoordinate

There are now over 12.200 amazing people who are actively editing on Wikidata - 3000 of them even making more than 100 edits a month ♥️ Thank you! Without you Wikidata wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for helping give more people more access to more knowledge every single day. This year also marks the year we can welcome a new sister to the Wikimedia projects: Wikifunctions is live, letting us all geek out on functions in anticipation of Abstract Wikipedia. Another big milestone was Wikibase Cloud coming out of private beta. Now you can more easily run your own Wikibase and collect and maintain data that doesn’t fit into Wikidata. 2023 was also the year when the efforts of Wikidata editors were recognized across the Wikimedia movement with the awarding of the Wikimedian of the Year award to Taufik Rosman and the Wikimedia Laureate award to Siobhan Leachman. Over the coming year I want us to find ways how we can bring more people, who are already editing a bit here and there, closer to the community and help them find their place in our community. If you are one of them and have not found your place yet, check out a WikiProject related to your interests. Wikidata has something for everyone 😉

Wikidata now has over 106 Million Items and nearly 1.2 Million Lexemes. We are closing in on 2 Billion edits, making about 20 Million edits per month. All this content is used to create useful, quirky, educational or just fun applications that wouldn’t be possible without Wikidata and all the work you put into it. Check out Notable People for example. Over the coming year we want to make that even easier by building better APIs, lessening the strain on the Query Service, doing more outreach to developers as well as making our data more usable by ironing out ontology issues. In addition there will be increased focus on improving how the other Wikimedia projects integrate Wikidata. With the opening up of Wikibase Cloud we will hopefully also see many new Wikibases pop up that cover more specialized data or be used as playgrounds to prepare data for Wikidata. I am looking forward to a growing Wikibase Ecosystem and excited about more Linked Open Data becoming available to the world, with Wikidata being an entryway to it all.

And last but not least: if you want to learn a bit more about the history and backstory of Wikidata, then you might like Wikidata: The Making Of by Denny, Markus and me.

Berita Teknis: 2023-44

Berita teknis terkini dari komunitas teknis Wikimedia. Harap beritahu pengguna lain mengenai perubahan ini. Tidak semua perubahan akan berdampak pada Anda. Terjemahan telah tersedia.

Perubahan terbaru

• Sebagai rangkaian dari proyek penyempurnaan UploadWizard di Commons, tim Structured Content melakukan beberapa perbaikan UX terhadap langkah pengunggahan untuk memilih karya sendiri versus bukan karya sendiri (T347590), dan juga pada langkah perizinan untuk karya sendiri (T347756).
• Tim Design Systems telah merilis Codex versi 1.0.0, sistem desain baru untuk Wikimedia. Lihat pengumuman lengkap tentang penerbitan Codex 1.0.0.

Perubahan dalam minggu ini

• Versi terbaru MediaWiki akan tersedia di wiki uji coba dan MediaWiki.org pada 31 Oktober. Versi ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 1 November. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 2 November (kalender).
• Daftar di halaman kategori disusun di setiap wiki menggunakan sebuah pustaka. Selama periode singkat pada tanggal 2 November, perubahan pada kategori tidak akan terurut dengan benar dalam beberapa bahasa. Hal ini terjadi karena para pengembang sedang melakukan peningkatan ke versi baru pustaka ini. Mereka kemudian akan menggunakan skrip untuk memperbaiki kategori yang ada. Proses ini akan memakan waktu beberapa jam atau beberapa hari, tergantung pada seberapa besar ukuran wiki tersebut. Anda dapat membaca lebih lanjut. [215][216]
• Mulai 1 November, modul dampak (Special:Impact) akan dimutakhirkan oleh tim Growth. Modul baru ini akan menampilkan lebih banyak data kepada para pengguna baru mengenai pengaruh mereka terhadap wiki tersebut. Modul ini telah diuji coba oleh beberapa wiki selama beberapa bulan terakhir. [217]

Perubahan mendatang

• Terdapat rencana untuk mengaktifkan kembali Ekstensi Graph. Anda dapat membantu dengan meninjau proposal ini dan menyampaikan pendapat Anda.
• WMF sedang berupaya untuk memperbolehkan para pengurus menyunting konfigurasi MediaWiki secara langsung. Hal ini mirip dengan upaya sebelumnya di Special:EditGrowthConfig. Sebuah RfC teknis sedang berlangsung hingga 8 November, tempat Anda dapat memberikan umpan balik.

• Pekan lalu, beberapa kotak dialog dan menu sembulan terlihat dengan ukuran huruf yang berbeda. Permasalahan ini sekarang sudah teratasi. [227]

Perubahan dalam minggu ini

• Versi terbaru MediaWiki akan tersedia di wiki uji coba dan MediaWiki.org pada 14 November. Versi ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 15 November. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 16 November (kalender).

Perubahan mendatang

• Reference Previews mulai hadir di sebagian besar wiki sebagai fitur bawaan. Fitur ini berupa tampilan sembulan untuk referensi, mirip dengan fitur PagePreviews.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 November. It will be on all wikis from 30 November (calendar). There is no new MediaWiki version next week. [235][236]
• MediaWiki's JavaScript system will now allow async/await syntax in gadgets and user scripts. Gadget authors should remember that users' browsers may not support it, so it should be used appropriately. [237]

Growth team newsletter #29

Welcome to the twenty-ninth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Community Conversations

The Growth team will host its first community conversation Monday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.

This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.

Impact Module

At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias. We recently released a follow up improvement to how edit data was displayed based on editor feedback. [238]

Add a Link

We released “add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias. [239] [240]

We have a few Wikipedias remaining:

• German and English Wikipedia will be contacted at the beginning of January 2024.
• There are a few small wikis that will not receive the task until they have enough articles for the algorithm to work properly.

Community Configuration

• We shared Community Configuration 2.0 plans with technical stakeholders. [241] 🖂
• Initial Community Configuration design ideas have been shared and discussed with community members.
• A basic Community Configuration 2.0 demo is released on ToolForge.
• Developers can find some initial proof of concept code shared on gitlab.

Mentorship

When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", they were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. [242]

We improved the message received by newcomers when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. [243]

We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This required reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as the clean-up script confused some editors. We will resume it when the identified blockers are resolved. [244]

It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. [245]

Tech News

• The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 8 January 2024 because of the holidays.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 December. It will be on all wikis from 21 December (calendar). There is no new MediaWiki version next week. [257][258]

The "Move Page" feature will leave an appropriate redirect behind, and such redirects will be appropriately recognized by the software (e.g. hidden from Istimewa:UnconnectedPages). There will also be support for manual redirects. [260]

Future changes

• The MediaWiki JavaScript documentation is moving to a new format. During the move, you can read the old docs using version 1.41. Feedback about the new site is welcome on the project talk page.
• The Wishathon is a new initiative that encourages collaboration across the Wikimedia community to develop solutions for wishes collected through the Community Wishlist Survey. The first community Wishathon will take place from 15–17 March.

Wikidata weekly summary #611

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Discussions

• New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)

Events

• Upcoming: The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, 17th January 2024 (18:00 Berlin time) in the Wikidata Telegram group. The Wikidata and Wikibase office hours are online events where the development team presents what they have been working on over the past quarter, and the community is welcome to ask questions and discuss important issues related to the development of Wikidata and Wikibase.
• Past
  • Provenance Loves Wiki (PLW24), Jan 12th - 14th, research and data on the origin of artworks and cultural heritage and how Wikibase and Wikidata can support this.
  • WikiLovesWomen #SheSaid campaign wrapped up the 2023 campaign by visiting Kinshasha and Kisangani, where local Wikimedians improved quotes from women on FR Wikipedia and Wikidata.

Berita Teknis: 2024-06

Berita teknis terkini dari komunitas teknis Wikimedia. Harap beritahu pengguna lain mengenai perubahan ini. Tidak semua perubahan akan berdampak pada Anda. Terjemahan telah tersedia.

Perubahan terbaru

• Halaman riwayat situs seluler kini menggunakan HTML yang sama dengan halaman riwayat desktop. Jika Anda menemukan masalah yang berkaitan dengan penggunaan riwayat seluler, silakan sampaikan ke tugas Phabricator.
• Di sebagian besar wiki, kini pengurus dapat memblokir pengguna untuk melakukan tindakan tertentu. Tindakan-tindakan ini adalah mengunggah berkas, membuat halaman baru, memindahkan (mengganti nama) halaman, dan mengirimkan ucapan terima kasih. Tujuan dari fitur ini adalah untuk memudahkan pengurus dalam menerapkan pemblokiran yang sesuai dengan aktivitas pengguna yang diblokir. Pelajari lebih lanjut tentang "blokir tindakan". [281][282]

Perubahan dalam minggu ini

• Versi terbaru MediaWiki akan tersedia di wiki uji coba dan MediaWiki.org pada 6 Februari. Versi ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 7 Februari. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 8 Februari (kalender). [283][284]
• Halaman pembicaraan yang menyertakan diakritik dan aksara non-Latin mengalami masalah. Persoalan ini sekarang sudah diperbaiki. [285]

Perubahan mendatang

• Sebanyak 24 Wikipedia dengan Reference Tooltips sebagai alat bantu bawaan dianjurkan untuk menghapus bendera bawaan tersebut. Dengan demikian, Reference Tooltips akan menjadi bawaan baru untuk munculan referensi yang akan menghasilkan pengalaman yang lebih konsisten di seluruh wiki. Bagi 46 Wikipedia dengan kurang dari empat pengurus antarmuka, perubahan ini sudah dijadwalkan pada pertengahan Februari, kecuali jika ada masalah. Alat bantu Reference Tooltips yang lama akan tetap dapat digunakan dan akan menggantikan fitur ini, jika fitur ini tersedia di wiki dan Anda telah mengaktifkannya di pengaturan Anda. [286][287]

Berita Teknis: 2024-09

Berita teknis terkini dari komunitas teknis Wikimedia. Harap beritahu pengguna lain mengenai perubahan ini. Tidak semua perubahan akan berdampak pada Anda. Terjemahan telah tersedia.

Perubahan terbaru

• Editor visual seluler kini menjadi editor standar bagi pengguna yang belum pernah menyunting sebelumnya, di sebagian kecil wiki. Berdasarkan penelitian, pengguna yang menggunakan penyunting ini memiliki tingkat keberhasilan yang lebih tinggi dalam menerbitkan suntingan yang telah mereka mulai, dan memiliki tingkat keberhasilan yang lebih rendah dalam menerbitkan suntingan yang bukan merupakan suntingan yang dikembalikan. Pengguna yang menentukan editor teks wikipedia sebagai bawaannya di desktop akan mendapatkan editor teks wiki di ponsel untuk suntingan pertama mereka di ponsel juga. [302]
• Nilai mw.config wgGlobalGroups kini hanya berisi kumpulan kelompok yang aktif di wiki. Skrip sudah tidak perlu lagi memeriksa apakah kelompok tersebut aktif di wiki melalui permintaan API. Contoh kode di atas adalah: if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups"))). [303]

Perubahan dalam minggu ini

• Versi terbaru MediaWiki akan tersedia di wiki uji coba dan MediaWiki.org pada 27 Februari. Versi ini akan tersedia untuk wiki non-Wikipedia dan beberapa Wikipedia pada 28 Februari. Perubahan ini akan ada pada semua wiki pada 29 Februari (kalender). [304][305]

Perubahan mendatang

• Hak untuk mengubah tag suntingan (changetags) akan dihapus dari pengguna di situs Wikimedia, dan mempertahankannya secara baku untuk pengurus dan bot saja. Komunitas Anda dapat mengajukan permohonan untuk mempertahankan konfigurasi lama di wiki sebelum perubahan ini terjadi. Harap cantumkan di tiket ini untuk mempertahankannya bagi komunitas Anda sebelum akhir Maret 2024.

This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost. [316]

Events

• Upcoming:
  • Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group call April 2, 2024: Come join us for fun data modeling discussions! We'll create breakout rooms in Zoom for people to discuss 4 examples of cultural heritage items to contribute to Wikidata. Each group will choose categories, brainstorm properties for basic and enhanced description, and discuss challenges. Then we'll have some quality time at the end to compare notes and discuss our processes! Agenda
  • Wikidata Leveling Up Days, everything you need to know about Wikidata: 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 April. The event is taking place online and the videos are already available on the program page.

Join the next one Sunday April 14th.
• Papers: Understanding Wikidata - Wikidata is extremely valuable as a data source to supplement, validate and extend existing knowledge bases and applications. To effectively utilize Wikidata in a Semantic Web application, one must understand its design, terminology and correspondence with ontological concepts (especially RDF and OWL). This paper attempts to explain and position this information. (by AWesterinen)
